We're dividing 31444 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 31444 by 71.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 71

Step 2:
71 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 314 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
71 goes into 314 4 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 284 from 314.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 71

Step 4:
71 can be fit into 304 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 284 from 304.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 71

On to step 5:
When dividing 204 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 442.0
If we subtract 142 from 204, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442.8
If we take 568 away from 620, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
71 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 442.87
Deduct 497 from 520 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
71 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 442.873
Subtracting 213 from 230 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 9:
71 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 442.8732
Subtracting 142 from 170 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 67.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 442.87323
Subtracting 213 from 280 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
71 goes into 670 9 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 442.873239
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 639 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 310 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 442.8732394
If we take 284 away from 310, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 442.87323943
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 213 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 442.87323943 with a balance of 4.7e-08.
